This recipe is a favorite for my kids. They like these Goulash type recipes where we mix hamburger, beans, corn and tomato’s. With this recipe you will need to cook the hamburger before hand, and I would highly suggest using a lean ground beef and this recipe can easily be swapped out with ground turkey or ground venison.

Brown Hamburger
Place all ingredients into a sturdy freezer ziploc bag.
I mixed this a bit with my hands, and then laid flat, pushed as much air out as possible and froze it. I will mix it well once I place it in the crock (trying to avoid making more dirty dishes for myself).
Cook in the crock with the same times as above.

Hi I'm Sarah, I live in very rural Kansas with my 3 children. We also have 3 hens, Betty Lou, Dinozzo, Jenny Jewel. Our fun involves gardening, living in an iconic area of the country where corn fields,small towns, tractors, farmers and hard work are still very important and occasionally when we need some adventure we drive on over the border to Missouri where the real shopping stores are...aka Target. I grew up in Utah so I enjoy commemorating with Heidi over everything Rocky Mountains.

Loved, loved, LOVED this one. I am trying all your freezer meals and this one is my favorite so far. It was just like chili, but without tasting like tomatoes. I used black beans because that’s what I had and ate it with tortilla chips. The best part is that I usually have all these ingredients on hand so I can whip it up any time I want. That’s a good thing because I could not stop eating it.

I’m so glad I found your site! Since I bulk cook and prepare freezer foods a lot, I am always thrilled to find a new source. Right now I have both my crock pots going: one is this Western Beef Casserole and the other is your Whip It Up Wednesday Minestrone. Yep, it is Wednesday! Thanks, Lady Sarah.
